Hi

I am unable to mount hda1 partition of my P4 with other computers in my
network. My P3 Win2k box see "access denied", while Mini Mac says
"folder can not be found".

I can see the /media/hda1 when I smbtree -- see youself. So what is the
problem?

For some reason I can't browse hda1 folder from other computers. I can
see but I can't browse it.

I think that you're trying to mount the device and not a folder on the
device.   So, though I advise against it, I think you need to mount

[hda1]
        comment = /hda1
        path = /
        guest ok = Yes
        read only = Yes

or better

For some reason I am able to browse all of them now :)

Could it be you didn't wait long enough?

Some of my microsoft using friends have told me that it can sometimes take up
to a hour before file sharing on a pure microsoft environment is working,
finding and browsing the machines.

Myself I use NFS which always works fine, of course if you are going to use
microsoft machines, you either have to buy a proper software (I know some
would use things like piratebuy) or try the luck with the microsofts nfs
client that they have hidden somewhere on their site for free download.

I am thinking of replacing Kubuntu with Gentoo in my laptop, and
hopefully then I may start playing with NFS.

Basically what I am trying to do is create a backup sharing folders in
my P4 Linux box say /dev/hda2 (vfat), and this would sync with mini
mac & laptop (win/linux). I have a long way to go
I am thinking of switching to NFS myself, however,
